The research has implications for understanding human developmental disorders such as autism
Adult songbirds modify their vocalizations when singing to juveniles in the same way that humans alter their speech when talking to babies. The resulting brain activity in young birds could shed light on speech learning and certain developmental disorders in humans, according to a study by 91黑料网 researchers.

Discovery offers hope for more effective treatments of deadly glioblastomas
A gene known as OSMR plays a key role in driving the growth of glioblastoma tumors, according to a new study led by a 91黑料网 researcher and published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
For years, neuroscientists have puzzled over how two abnormal proteins, called amyloid and tau, accumulate in the brain and damage it to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD). Which one is the driving force behind dementia? The answer: both of them, according to a new study by researchers at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute.

Life in the city changes cognition, behavior and physiology of birds to their advantage
Birds living in urban environments are smarter than birds from rural environments.
But, why do city birds have the edge over their country friends? They adapted to their urban environments enabling them to exploit new resources more favorably than their rural counterparts, say a team of all-91黑料网 researchers.

Astronomers for the first time detect repeat 鈥榝ast radio bursts鈥� from same sky location
Astronomers for the first time have detected repeating short bursts of radio waves from an enigmatic source that is likely located well beyond the edge of our Milky Way galaxy.聽The findings indicate that these 鈥渇ast radio bursts鈥� come from an extremely powerful object which occasionally produces multiple bursts in under a minute.
